ISL26104AV28EV1Z 2. Functional Description
2.6 Power Supply Sequencing
The board is made up of two galvanically isolated sections. The ADC portion is powered by a laboratory supply.
The microcontroller section is powered by the USB connection.
Proper voltages from an external supply must be provided to the DVDD (3.3V to 5V), AVDD (5V), and the AGND
banana plug connectors for the ADC portion of the board to function. LEDs, as shown in Figure 3, will light up
when DVDD and AVDD are powered. Note that these supplies, AVDD and DVDD, can be applied and removed in
any sequence without regard to each other or with regard to whether the USB interface is connected and powered.
The USB interface can also be disconnected and reconnected without consequence with regard to whether the
power supply to the ADC section of the board is powered.
In other words, there is no power supply sequencing requirement for any of the supplies to the board, whether from
the ADC section powered by the laboratory supply, or the microcontroller section powered by the USB connection.
2.7 Quick Start Guide
The evaluation board includes evaluation software for computers running Microsoft Windows XP or later.
2.8 Installing the Evaluation Software
Use the following link to go to the ISL26104 product page.
www.intersil.com/products/ISL26104
On the Documents tab, locate the Software section. Click the link to download the evaluation software setup
program. The software setup program has a license agreement that must be accepted to install the software.
When the setup program has been downloaded, run setup.exe and follow the on-screen instructions.
The software communicates with the evaluation board using the USB interface. The software uses the USB HID
driver included with the Windows operating system, so it is not necessary to load any other USB drivers.
2.9 Running the Evaluation Software
Note that the fonts and colors in the evaluation software are dictated by the operating system, and may vary from
what is shown in this document.
Before starting the evaluation software, connect the evaluation board to the computer with a USB cable.
To start the evaluation software, click
Start > All Programs > Renesas > ISL261XX Evaluation Software > ISL261XX Evaluation Software
If the software is started before the connection to the board is made, the software will indicate that the USB
interface is not connected with the message: USB Status: Not Connected as shown in Figure 10.
If this occurs, connect the evaluation board to the computer with the USB cable. The USB status should change to
USB Status: Connected as shown in Figure 11 on page 11.
